Why doesn't Batman learn how to use magic?

Stop trying to make Batman more powerful, street level Batman is the best Batman

Because he wouldn't be relateable.

John Constantine is still street level and he knows a shitload of magic.

I feel like the idea of Batman being relatable is the biggest con DC's ever pulled on comic book readers.

He doesn't have a believing heart

In DC, don't you need a natural gift in order to use magic?

Or can anyone learn?

Why doesn't Batman just rape the joker?

How would that help him rape the Joker?

because he's not a Homo Magi.

This desu. He's a superhumanly intelligent emotionally closed off brooding billionaire. He's not relatable at all, and intentionally so.

Classic Constantine wouldn't try to fight villains with it, he'd only use it to save his ass

>Why doesn't Batman learn how to use magic?

Imagine if Batman learned how to use magic as well as wear an Iron Man suit, and also inject himself with super soldier serum...

You know what? Let's also splice some alien DNA in him and slap on a Green Lantern ring for good measure.

...

And then give him prep time.

>Believing Constantine
that was your first mistake

But he did user, you just gotta have magic take over.

He also has closets full of random power objects, armors, superpower belts, super guns, etc and he never uses any of that shit either.

He can probably learn the speed force formula, make miraclo, make a star rod, he could at least stick some Nth metal in his costume or something.

Lex never tries any of this shit either. A pocket star rod might come in handy when his plans fall to shit and Superman is about to drop him in a prison yard again.

Batman could work the same way, with emergency magical artifacts in his belt.

DC keeps going back and forth with it, sometimes anyone can learn and sometimes they have to be homo magi. Depends on which writer is trying to retcon which writer at the time.

I guess if there really was a difference then homo magi basically make it a superpower where they can just say something or twirl a finger and it always happens. While ordinary people need to learn complicated incantations, keep a shitload of artifacts and herbs, salts, gems, and other new age-ey shit on them and sometimes make a big ritual out of it.

He does. At least Timm's Batman does.

>As Wizard Batman explains it, the big-league evil warlocks and witches got together and pooled their resources. United, they made an incredible an horrific sacrifice in the name of power: They offered up the sun. Of course, a dead star in the middle of the solar system would mean imminent death for pretty much all life on the planet, so it was up to a few magic users to finagle a way out of that sticky situation. The good guys were able to revive the sun, but it came back in a very different form. This new sun emitted what's basically a permanent electromagnetic pulse, rendering all past and potential future electronic devices useless. Another side effect: The potency of magic all over the world has increased tenfold. Which explains why Batman started investing so heavily in potions and wards as opposed to chemical repellent for aquatic predators.

>Fans know that one of Superman's big weaknesses (besides the big K) is magic. So while Supes isn't invulnerable anymore, he is able to banish a horde of Solomon Grundys by hoisting his blade into the air and wishing for it really hard. If that sounds weird and a little rad, just wait til you see where the remaining Justice League meets up:

I love comics so fucking much, you guys.

It would cut into his brooding time. There's only 23 hours a day, you know.

Out of some sense of honor. When Batman and Spawn had their cross-over and he got his ass whupped he was basically saying that Spawn's magic shit was lower than fighting dirty.

He doesn't trust it to be reliable, and because he doesn't trust it, it never would be.

Then why don't more people do it?

>He doesn't trust it to be reliable, and because he doesn't trust it, it never would be.
Well the thing is most really powerful magic require external powersources. Basically it always meant you don't have total control over it. Batman HATE giving up control.

Wizard Batman and Paladin Supes was really fun. It was a great mini and could have been fun to continue further. I forget what it was called, but I think it only ended up being 4 issues.

That actually makes a lot more sense. Though magic seems to work out nearly 100% of the time for full time magic using league members, so Batman would realistically look at those odds and choose to be pragmatic and learn magic regardless of the loss of control.

Unless his craziness supersedes his pragmatism, which happens often with his no killing policy, and maybe the no guns thing too.

They don't know the secret.

Why doesn't Batman rape Aaron Diaz?

Listen, even the world's greatest detective can't predict when Diaz will update next. It could be years!

Isn't this the same reason Lex hates it? Even though it would be perfect to use against Superman

what was the name?

Sorcerer Kings by Cullen Bunn

If you get it even slightly wrong, the results can be several orders of magnitude beyond bad.

I feel like you idiots can't understand that no one relates to the adventures of a pirate or a spy. People relate to emotions not habilities, batman emotions are what is relatable, his backstory is fantastic, there's nothing wrong with not liking a character, but stop acting like retards, no one relates to a super ninja because he has ninja powers but anyone over 4 cam understand the idea of a guy losing his parents and wanting to protect other innocent people because of that. Fuck. I hate batmanhaters by far the dumbest and more autistic group in this board.

Because he's best friends with Superman
